Terran Emperors.

Our month-long jaunt to the Mirror Universe is over, and Discovery closed out its trip to the dark side with an exciting and epic installment that delivered a few unexpected twists and raised some big questions.

In this episode of Notes from The Edge, in which we deep-dive into connections between Star Trek: Discovery and the broader Star Trek universe, host C Bryan Jones shares his thoughts on whether Lorca could return in Prime wrappings, Saru's speech, why the jump home created a new timeline, and how the mycelial network fundamentally changes how we think about universes in Star Trek. We also delve into the origin and meaning of the title, "What's Past Is Prologue," and say goodbye to the Mirror Universe with a rundown of all 21 Terran Emperors.

What's Past Is Prologue. As Lorca makes a play for control of the Terran Empire, Emperor Georgiou takes shelter after failing to stop his advance on the throne room. Back aboard Discovery, acting Captain Saru inspires the crew to lead a direct assault on the mycelium orb that powers the ISS Charon-a plan that sends Stamets on a trip through the forest.

We discuss the characters, the Mirror Universe, Spock, the mycelial network, and more.

Vaulting Ambition. Burnham presents Emperor Georgiou with a gift and, in return, receives her full hospitality-including a delicious meal. Meanwhile, aboard Discovery, Ash Tyler's mind is breaking down and it seems that the only person who can help him is L'Rell, and Stamets finds himself in a mycelium-created mental landscape where he gets to say a final goodbye to his beloved Doctor Culber.

In this episode of The Edge, host Brandon-Shea Mutala is joined by Heather Barker and Tim Williamson to discuss the twelfth episode of Star Trek: Discovery, "Vaulting Ambition."
